Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Japan gets underway.
  • 5' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Costa Rica needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' - Costa Rica started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 10.
  • 15' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - Costa Rica is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 25' - Maya Yoshida has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 29 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 30' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 35' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 40' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 41' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Anthony Contreras gets a Yellow card.

  • 51' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Brandon Aguilera suffering a number of foals already.
